The 76ers are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week’s over/under low at 231.5, but even that wound up being too high. They came out on top against the Bulls by a score of 109-97 on Saturday. The win made it back-to-back victories for Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, the Lakers waltzed into their matchup on Monday with three straight wins… but they left with four. They secured a 112-107 W over Charlotte.
Anthony Davis was his usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 42 points and 23 rebounds.
